Mix Tape Mafia

@CandCPod

The Mix Tape Mafia decides the best songs to fit a certain theme, and delivers an incredible playlist each episode. Along the way, hosts Jason Papagan and Anthony Pisch nominate songs back and forth, crack wise and determine which songs make the cut, and which end up on the cutting room floor. Every episode is a musical and comical feast for the ears that results in a supreme "Mix Tape" playlist for the listeners to add to their Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Why are we the Mix Tape Mafia?... because we're paisans and what we say goes. Don't like it? send us a tweet and let us know. Strong opinions stir the stew...

    Ep. 117: MTM Wrapped plus the Billy Squier Game and the Lord of the Lead Vocals

    We kick off the episode with a coronation of the one man who had the most hit songs (5) as the lead singer for five different groups, plus a solo act... he's the lead singer version of Michael McDonald. Then, it's the Billy Squire game! The interim producer thought he only knew The Stroke, and we make bets on how many Squier songs he'll actually know. Finally, the main attraction... an analysis of the top 5 songs on each of our Spotify Wrapped lists for 2024.

    Ep. 114: Not My Day Job
    This week's episode includes some all out diamonds in the rough, and some lumps of coal.  "Not My Day Job" features our curation of a bunch of songs from people who are famous for something OTHER than singing.  You'll recognize some and we'll reveal some other new mysteries.  These are famous actors, comedians, athletes, etc., who just happened to get the itch, thought they could sing, and used their stardom to record a song or two.  And a few of them actually got a decent amount of airplay!  We'll give them all some time on the podwaves tonight...

    Ep. 113: Angels & Demons, plus Suno Songs and Drunk Speed Mafia!
    We hash through the best songs that have either "Angel" or "Demon" in the title. This is an interseting playlist, but before we put that mix tape together for you, we've got the debut of our Bean Bag Studios Suno Songs! And we listen to the "Drunk Speed Mafia," aka, the Mix Tape Mafia at 0.5 speed! Hilarity ensues.

    Ep. 112: Burying the Lede: Album Edition
    We had so much fun a few episodes ago with our "Burying the Lede" songs that we needed to bring back the theme with a twist!  We are curating the best mix tape playlist of all songs that contain the name of the album that they are on... but they are NOT title tracks!  You'll catch on quickly...

    Ep. 111: The Game of LIFE
    It's a lost episode!  Recorded back in the spring of 2024, we're finally bringing you the game of Life - a Mix Tape Mafia curation (and creation!) of what WE consider the best songs with the word "Life" in the title. It's now or never, we're in the fast lane, and it's a highway, so hang on for the ride.  We've even got a few "shandy" nominees, and a handful of guilty pleasures.

    Ep. 110: Foodies!
    It's a special episode all about Food!  We're playing songs with food in the title AND we're stepping into the Pappy's Products test kitchen as we introduce and review FIVE new products inspired by various songs throughout the night. Grab your popcorn and your shopping list and get ready to crunch, munch, and dance!

    Ep. 109: Burying the Lede
    We've got an awesome episode where we dive into the best songs where the title is NOT in the chorus or the hook of the song. Instead, the artist has "buried" the title somehwere deeper in one of the song's verses or elsewhere. This is one of those episodes where you only the Mafia can give you the proper deep dive that this Spotify mix tape deserves.

    Ep. 108: Hasn't Aged Well
    Tread carefully... Perhaps, we could have called this episode "Creeps & Peeps," since the majority of these songs ended up being creepy older dudes singing about their lust for underage girls. SO, we are by no means endorsing the messages behind some of these tunes. But we thought it would be interesting to explore some of the hit songs that we all used to like, but they certainly haven't aged well. It could be politically incorrect references to race or gender identitiy, or it could be, you know... grooming and statutory rape. Either way, you couldn't write these songs today. But we've got a tightly packed 37 minutes of comedy gold, as we lean into the cringiness of it all.

    Ep. 107: Wedding Bangers
    To kick off wedding week, the boys are in studio to curate the best (and worst!) dance songs that you're bound to hear at most weddings. They work through the bangers for you, building an incredible spotify playlist that includes both the dance floor fillers AND the dance floor EMPTIERS!
